What’s happening @ Hoerr Nursery

Monarchs are headed south, and your fall flowers can help fuel them up! The generation metamorphosizing right now will return to Mexico, overwintering until next spring. Here at Hoerr Nursery, we've noticed that in fall they're especially attracted to goldenrod, asters, anise hyssop, liatris, stonecrop, and seven sons tree. Which plants are the butterfly favorites in your yard this time of year? #peoriaillinois #peoriail #enjoypeoria #hellopeoria #discoverpeoria

Help your climbing houseplants reach new heights! Join Ayden, our houseplant enthusiast, for a hands-on Make a Moss Pole Workshop at 10am on October 10th. Unlike coco-coir poles, which can dry out quickly, this custom moss pole is designed to mimic the moist, nutrient-rich tree trunks that plants with aerial roots naturally climb, sustaining big, healthy plants in surprisingly small pots. You'll leave with a plant and a diy moss pole, plus the skills to help it thrive. The cost is $35. Space is limited, so reserve your spot at hoerrnursery.com/workshops, and get growing! #peoriaillinois #peoriail #enjoypeoria #hellopeoria #shoplocal365 #discoverpeoria #bestofpeoria #shoplocalpeoriail #heartofillinois

This year marks 100 years since D.A. Hoerr started out delivering coal and topsoil right here in Peoria, long before his family business would come to be known as a nursery. This week, third-generation owner Nate Hoerr sat down with CI Proud's Gretchen Wirtz as part of their Loving Living Local segment to talk about how that delivery route grew into the Hoerr Nursery you know today, what's changed, and what hasn't. He also spoke candidly about the toughest challenges the business has weathered, and what it takes to keep a family nursery standing for a century.

If you're out and about today, swing by Landscape and Garden Day and visit us! Kelly has all kinds of beautiful seasonal annuals for sale, a butterfly photo op, and plenty of garden advice! #peoriaillinois #peoriail #enjoypeoria #hellopeoria #discoverpeoria

Beautyberry puts on a late-season show! Bright purple berries stand out against leaves that turn yellow in fall, and the berries hang on after the leaf drop, adding winter interest. This unusual shrub is a staff favorite. It's stock now, and looking fabulous! #peoriaillinois #peoriail #enjoypeoria #hellopeoria #shoplocal365 #discoverpeoria #bestofpeoria #shoplocalpeoriail #heartofillinois

Make a Moss Pole Workshop 10am on October 10th

$35.00

Help your climbing houseplants reach new heights!

Join Ayden, our houseplant enthusiast, for a hands-on Make a Moss Pole Workshop and learn how to create the ideal support for some of your favorite houseplants.

We’ll talk about houseplants with aerial roots, the kind that naturally grow up tree trunks for support. Many popular moss poles are made with coco coir, and while plant roots may attach to the surface, coco coir can dry out quickly, and doesn’t provide the moisture and nutrients these houseplants would find in nature.

In this workshop, you’ll learn a moss-pole method designed to better mimic those natural growing conditions. Your plant’s aerial roots can access moisture and nutrients from the pole, which means you'll get larger leaves, faster, healthier growth, better root development, and less frequent repotting.

Whether you’re growing a monstera, a philodendron, a pothos, or another indoor climber, you’ll leave with new skills and a custom support for your new plant.

All materials are included in the cost of the workshop, plus the plant itself. Space is limited, so reserve your spot and get growing!

10am on October 10th
